1.Attainment of the economies of scale in medical service and the application
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2011;27(6):451-453
The paper analyzed the economies of scale of medical service and its characteristics according to the concepts and original of such a theory. It holds that hospital operations demands an appropriate size; for medical services in need of procuring large equipments, specialized service units of an appropriate size are more cost effective than service provision in individual hospitals; web release of medical service information and price information can help expand the market size; hospital alliances can integrate medical services horizontally and vertically. The above measures can attain the economies of scale for medical service.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical prognosis of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).Methods:The clinical data of 42 patients with PMP after CRS combined with HIPEC in the Affiliated Haikou Hospital of Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from January 2012 to December 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent open surgery CRS combined with HIPEC, the operation condition and prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results:In 42 patients with PMP, the disenminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) accounted for 61.9% (26/42), the peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) accounted for 28.6% (12/42), and the borderline accounted for 9.5% (4/42). The incidence rate of major operative complications (grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ) after CRS combined with HIPEC was 21.4% (9/42). The logistic regression analysis showed that the previous surgery score ( OR = 35.765, 95% CI 2.746-43.986, P = 0.001) and completeness of CRS score ( OR = 23.865, 95% CI 1.345-347.876, P = 0.028) were independent factors influencing major postoperative complications in PMP patients. The overall survival time of 42 patients with PMP was (64.8±4.1) months, and the disease-free survival time was (54.0±4.9) months; the 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 80.8% and 65.9%, and the 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 59.5% and 54.6%, respectively. The difference in overall survival time of patients with different pathological subtypes was statistically significant ( P = 0.022). Conclusion:CRS combined with HIPEC is safe and effective for treatment of patients with PMP, and most of the patients have a good prognosis.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical application of heparinase-modified TEG (hmTEG) in evaluating coagulation status and monitoring anticoagulant therapy in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. 【Methods】 The clinical data of severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 confirmed to be infected with novel coronary disease (SARS-CoV-2) from December 2022 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group according to the initial dose of enoxaparin. The changes of platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer, TEG and hmTEG before and after heparin treatment were compared between the two groups, so as to evaluate the changes of coagulation function and bleeding risk of COVID-19 severe non-ICU patients after anticoagulation with different doses of heparin. 【Results】 A total of 179 severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in this study, including 102 patients in therapeutic dose group and 77 patients in prophylactic dose group. Before receiving heparin anticoagulation, except for age(63.4±11.6 vs 59.8±9.1) D-dimer(678 ng/mL vs 621 ng/mL) and MA values [(69.1±10.2)mm vs (65.6±8.5)mm], there were no statistical differences in platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, R value, K time, α angle and coagulation index (CI) between the therapeutic dose group and the prophylactic dose group (P>0.05). After receiving heparin anticoagulation, there were significant differences in CKR value [(12.2±4.1)min vs (10.2±3.3)min] and CKHR value [(8.1±3.2)min vs (7.1±2.6)min] between therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group (P<0.05), but no significant differences in other parameters between groups (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the proportion of heparin overdose in the therapeutic dose group was significantly higher than that in the prophylactic dose group 15.69%(16/102) vs 5.19%(4/77)(P<0.05). However, there was no difference in the incidence of VTE events 2.35 %(2/85) vs 2.78%(2/72), gastrointestinal bleeding 2.35%(2/85) vs 1.39%(1/72), ICU admission 4.71%(4/85) vs 4.17%(3/72) and death events 3.53%(3/85) vs 2.78%(2/72) between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the current epidemic trend of COVID-19, in order to reduce the occurrence of bleeding events, the heparin dose should be selected more carefully in the prevention of thrombosis in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. The individualized assessment of bleeding risk by hmTEG is more conducive to the adjustment and control of heparin dose.
